International Love... 

Hello Guys and Girls

Last week Sugar Bay was lucky to have not one but TWO international 
schools join us at camp. We had Sifundzani from Swaziland and Maputo 
International from Mozambique. Both schools were very different and 
brought their own uniqueness to camp. They also got along with each 
other really well and enjoyed making friends with not only the 
counselors from South Africa but with campers from other countries too.

The campers from Maputo International were excited from day one to get 
straight into the Sugar Bay fun. They loved both the land and the beach 
activities and participated in Team Building. The Maputo students had to 
work together as a team to complete various tasks. Their favorite out of 
them all was going through the obstacle course as a team.The campers 
from Sifundzani really enjoyed going to the Beach as some of the campers 
had never even seen the sea before.

They took full advantage of all the beach activities and even got to go 
on an Excursion to Ushaka Marine World. They spent the morning at the 
Aquarium and then had a ball at Wet and Wild for the rest of the day.
The campers had a ball last week and so did the counselors. Finch:" The 
campers from Sifunzani were super cool, I enjoyed having them here so 
much I think I'm going to move to Swaziland!".

Last week we were also lucky enough to have a Teacher join us that has 
been coming to Sugar Bay for the last 10 years.Yes,The one and only Mr C 
from Sifundzani. Mr C is a favorite both with his students and the Sugar 
Bay staff. He reassured us that he will be back once again next year for 
his 11 year.He also asked Tape to please lets his two kids apply to 
become counselors now, so when they are old enough they have a spot on 
our team.

We look forward to having both schools join us once again next year. 
Stay tuned on the Blog, we have more international schools joining us 
this week and trust me they are having a ball.

Remember... It's your World! <3
